Attempted to use simultaneously with Leystone Buoy. I am now multiboxing two halves of my toon.

On a serious note... 50 is way too much Felslate. It really should take a few pieces like the buoy does for Leystone.

Why would you want to use this item? What purpose does it serve?

I can see this item being beneficial in the Vashj'ir area.

How fast do you plummet? Enough for falling damage, or is it a safe drop?

There are zero of these on the AH, and with good reason. If it is a one time use item, it's a hefty cost to craft. I mirror the top poster in asking what purpose it could actually serve with such an insane reagent cost.

Maybe everyone is missing something here - an innovative use - and it's a blacksmith's goldmine waiting for people to be aware of its existence so multitudes will buy them. Or not. :)

Talk about a "gold sink".

I feel like there were a lot of "useless" items added in 7.3 for professions. This anchor and the anti-grav boots for instance... but I can't help but wonder if these items are supposed to be used for some kind of secret...

Remember that hidden glowing orb at the bottom of the ocean at the western edge of Vash'ir? Maybe... just maybe....

There is one possible use for this item.

The Fathom Dweller is obtainable by killing Kosumoth on the Eye of Azshara island, but it requires you to undertaken a long quest chain similar to other hidden mounts in Legion. One part of the quest is to get to an underwater target which is in the fatigue area beyond the Broken Shore. Its a difficult trip and its possible this anchor would be a way of getting down to the target location quickly. I wasn't aware of it when I did my run for the mount; I think it might well have made that part of the questline a lot simpler.

I could only guess that this would be an item used in conjunction with other crafted items in order to create a boat or ship, perhaps we will get a garrison 2.0 but instead of being stationary it is a boat and requires upkeep by providing some crafted items like this, of course this is all speculation but i could see this being the case. I tried to reach the ocean floor a few times using the anchor in a fatigue zone but it stopped me just short and when i continued to swim down i died immediately even though i still had my fatigue bar going down.

Cannot be obliterated either. As someone only partway through the Blacksmith quest chains, this is currently the only item I can craft with felslate, and felslate is wasting space in my bag as I've gathered so much, so I was hoping I could sink some felslate into obliterum. But NOPE!

Comment by zenithstorm

I was going to make a bunch of these anyways, since felslate is no longer as costly with the new expansion... but it doesn't even stack! So while 20 Leystone Buoys takes a single bag space, 20 Felslate Anchors takes 20 bag spaces. -_-
